Mid-Ohio

Who said heat races were a thing of the past?
|
Most likely on points, I'd guess, but possible they will have qualifying
for the heats.
|

Yeah, they aren't going to have a top guy lose the championship because
of a heat race crash or mechanical. Unless he gets hurt, of course. But
the fast guys should have no problem getting out of the heats otherwise.
|

My guess is the normal points.

Yeah, I'm thinking B-Boz and Hodgy are all over that idea...
What's good here is that it's a unique format, but apparently does
nothing of significance to distort the championship. That was everyone's
fear, I think, and that seems unlikely now. As Barrick says here,
"Getting the opportunity to watch three heat races and the excitement
of a last chance race will also give the series a whole new twist
without compromising the integrity of our championship and points
system. And the winner of the consolation race will get a big boost in
recognition over what a 21st-place finish would normally provide, which
is another big bonus." Looks like only one feature race, though, instead
of the usual doubleheader. But if Mid-Ohio wants something different,
they certainly could have done worse...
